Looking at a 507 and wondering if anyone has had electrical problems?

Hey guys,

I've been a long time lurker and finally am looking to pickup a 2014 507 Sedan.

From the carfax history, I see that the car's computer was reprogrammed at around 17k, battery was replaced at around 24K and again the battery needed replacement at around 26k. Car is now being sold with 28K on the clock now.

Everything was done at a dealer and all signs point to a clean car but I'd like to know if anyone has had electrical problems with their C63/507s? I'm concerned that there might be deeper electrical issues since it's been in service for computer/electrical issues a number of times.

Any experience appreciated!
